From the publisher
Our highest hope is embodied in Jesus’s prayer: ‘Your Kingdom come; Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.’ These words remind us that God’s Kingdom is not a distant future but present reality, calling us into discipleship.As Luke Timothy Johnson writes, the Church is to be ‘a sacrament of the world’s possibility. A sign of what the world can be.’ We aspire to fulfill this by loving radically, inclusively, and generously—embracing all regardless of age, race, gender, orientation, ethnicity, marital status, or disability.

S2026 Ep 13Stations of the Cross: Part Six – The Two Parades (Palm Sunday)
This Sunday is Palm Sunday, the day we celebrate the triumphal entry into Jerusalem. As we walk through the stations of the cross throughout Lent, Palm Sunday poses a challenging question for us. How do we reconcile the hopeful excitement of Palm Sunday with the tragic darkness of Good Friday?
S2026 Ep 12Stations of the Cross: Part Five – The Third Fall
Stations 9 and 10. Jesus fell a third time. And they stripped him of everything. This is what God chose to enter. And it changes what we thought we knew about shame, failure, and what it means to belong.
S2026 Ep 11Stations of the Cross: Part Four – The Cross or the Machine
This week we crossed the halfway point in our series on the stations of the cross, with stations 7 (Jesus falls a second time) and 8 (the women of Jerusalem). When looked at in historical context, each of these stations has a lot to teach us about power, violence, and how we live in the world today.
S2026 Ep 10Stations of the Cross: Part Three – Simon and Veronica
This week in our Lenten series on the Stations of the Cross, we meet two unlikely people on the road to Golgotha — Simon of Cyrene, who was forced to carry the cross, and Veronica, who isn't even in the Bible — and find ourselves in both of them.
S2026 Ep 9Stations of the Cross: Part Two – Jesus Falls, and Jesus Meets His Mother
This Sunday we discuss stations 3 (Jesus Falls) and 4 (Jesus meets his mother) in our Journey through the Stations of the Cross. Neither of these stations is explicitly in the story of Scripture. Does that make them less “real,” or do they have something unique to teach us?
S2026 Ep 8Stations of the Cross: Part One – Condemned and Carrying the Cross
We begin a seven-week journey through the ancient Stations of the Cross. In this opening homily, we stand in Pilate's courtyard, watch a crowd choose the wrong kind of power, and follow Jesus as the cross is first placed upon his shoulders — carrying the weight of more than a wooden beam.
S2026 Ep 7Time – Pace and Presence: Part Seven – With special guest, Dr. Sarah Boberg
The Intentionality of Time: What can a 12-year-old boy in a temple teach us about slowing down? Through the story of Jesus lingering in Jerusalem while his parents rushed toward home, guest speaker Dr. Sarah Boberg invites us to consider how rituals shape us, how children see what adults miss, and how the journey itself—not just the destination—is where faith comes alive.
